Thanks to all who have helped especially Lee. Am buying a 2015 motorsports edition with 3591 miles in Nashville Tenn. Only 165 miles from Louisville KY. This will make a nice bookend for my 2016 R1200RT. One to play the other to travel.

The S is far more comfortable than it looks. We've done multiple 800+ mile days on the K1200S K1300S bikes and if our knees would take it we'd still be on one. Absolutely the finest sport touring bike ever made. Congrats !!

some further thoughts on my 2015 K1300 ME

Been a while since I have posted anything here or the other BMW forums here. Have had to make some changes since I was last here. I sold my 2016 R-1200RT and bought a 2019 Honda Gold Wing tour with a DCT transmission. This was the only way I could continue riding until a second Hip replacement is done later this summer. I still have my 2015 K1300 ME and I love that bike and have no intentions of selling it. Thanks to the advice from Lee and others here the changes I made improved a already great performance bike. Although I can't use it right now it awaits my full recovery. I intend to replace the R-1200 RT next year with a new GS-1250 adventure.

My riding is obviously curtailed now until the surgery & recovery but I do enjoy reading the posts and observations here.

I know what you mean Zoomie. I now have a replacement right knee and right hip. The hip was far easier than the knee. Looking forward to possibly riding to the Pine Mountain rally in early December. If I make it I will be riding the Gold Wing though since the hip is still not ready for the K1300S. Had a friend take my 2015 K1300S to the local 1/8th mile drag strip recently and in less than ideal conditions my Bren tuned bike ran a 6.91 at 105.5 MPH. Theses bikes are really faster than most of the sport bike community gave them credit for including magazine testers. Looking forward to making this another of my project bikes and seeing what I can get out of it on the quarter mile while sticking with strictly streetable mild modifications. I am ordering a Akrapovic full exhaust and a PC5 and plan on some dyno tuning so we shall see. I will post the dyno sheets and drag strip times here for anyone interested.

I have found a snag in my new to me 2015 Motorsport. The pegs are just a touch higher and back further than the K1200R and K1200R Sport I owned. I found a set of stock foot pegs and plates on EBay. The shifter appears to have gone on easily. The rear brake master cylinder actuator appears to be too long. The parts fische shows only one master cylinder actuator rod and the rear brakes are locked. Iím looking for ideas.

The artificial joints are great. With physical therapy and work, you should have a greater range of motion and comfort than before.
